However, How I Met Your Father (as we're calling it) would not include any of the original characters from HIMYM but may overlap in theshow's series finale. THR also points out that the spinoff would include a "similar set of friends," much like Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), Ted (Josh Radnor), Lily (Alyson Hannigan), Marshall (Jason Segel) and Robin (Cobie Smulders).

So, who's responsible for this possible spinoff show? Co-creators and executive producers Carter Bays and Craig Thomas as well Up All Night creator Emily Spivey are looking to get this project green-lit.
